As part of Vertical Response’s Social Media Webinar Series. I’ll be presenting Opening Doors and Closing Deals on LinkedIn on Friday, December 4, at 10am PST / 1pm EST. This will be focused entirely on using LinkedIn to grow your business, not for recruiting or job search, so all you entrepreneurs and sales & marketing professionals, this is for you! The webinar is free, but registration is required. A free playback will be available afterwards.

I had my attention called to this issue on Twitter today:
It’s ludicrous that this even merits a blog post, but LinkedIn has so obfuscated the process that it takes a lot of digging to find it. If you just want the link, here it is:

If you’d like to see how to find it for yourself, I’ve posted an illustrated step-by-step guide over at Linked Intelligence, along with some tips on escalating your issue if you don’t get any response at the link above.
Tomorrow (Tuesday, June 16) at 1pm Eastern I’ll be presenting a webinar in partnership with American Management Assocation (they published my first book, The Virtual Handshake) entitled How to Use LinkedIn to Excel in Your Current Position and Plan for Your Next.
This is not a webinar on the mechanics of how to use LinkedIn – this is focused entirely on the business strategy of using LinkedIn – how to create value for your business and career and how to be most productive with the time you spend on LinkedIn. Some of the specific topics include:
- The latest “dos and don’ts” for building an effective profile that gains maximum exposure in search engines
- Tips for direct one-to-one outreach—the right way to find and connect with others
- Ways to create value from the networks of others
- Effective use of the Q&A function: how to find the nuggets, what and when to answer, as well as potential legal liabilities
- How to use the answers section to be recognized as—or to find—an expert in your field
- Understanding and utilizing the power of LinkedIn groups
- How LinkedIn can be used as a tool for competitive research and product launches
- Stealth strategies for seeding conversations
- How to maximize productivity—profiles and routines (how often to check it, avoiding e-mail overload, etc.)
- Ways to merge blog feeds into your profile
- Understand how and why a paid LinkedIn membership can be of value to you
This is a 90-minute webinar with plenty of time for live Q&A. Registration is $149 and includes an activity guide to maximize your learning experience.
